Saving Multi Select values from SharePoint to a collection

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 27

Hi,

 

With the app I'm currently building a user can enter values in a PowerApp screen. With a button at the bottom of the screen the item will be saved to a collection to have it patched later on. One of the values is a multi select field from SharePoint. I want to save the values from that multi select to a collection, so I can submit the item later on to SharePoint with the patch function:

(ForAll([Source collection]; Patch([SharePoint list]; Defaults([SharePoint list]); { DATA }))

I'm trying to save the multi select with the following code:

Collect(RecurringEvent; {
 TitleColl: TitleNewValueHE.Text; 
 MultiSelect: MultiSelectValueHE.SelectedItems;
 });;

But it returns that it is incompatible with the collection. Probably because it is actually a table...? 

 

How can you get the values from a multi select to a collection?

 

Hopefully anyone can help me Smiley Happy

    Thought I would not come to a solution after hours of searching for a solution... After this post i tried the following and it works!

    Collect(RecurringEvent; {
     TitleColl: TitleNewValueHE.Text; 
     MultiSelectColl: { MultiSelect: MultiSelectValueHE.SelectedItems };
     });;

    It creates a record with the table inside. After this it's easy to patch it with:

    MultiSelectColl.MultiSelect.
